Thanks,
I currently have a few of my alloy builds going on, all these cars will be painted.
One is currently being painted at this time.
This build will be off to paint as soon as the other car is finished being painted.
New customers are always welcome of course.

Once you have those pieces done, one at a time you start to really see a car under all that work.
Having references like these really helped with some of the pieces I was unfamiliar with so I was able to fabricate pieces to fit areas as needed.
How many cars do you have in que right now? Are most left in bare/brushed aluminum, or do some get painted?

Thanks Steve,
The last big cut outs for this one is for the exhaust pipes, as with the hood scoop opening we put a nice rolled edge around the opening.
In my opinion the rolled edges look much nicer than just a straight cut out.
That's just about it for this roller, time to blow it apart and off to paint. |

Just about as much fun as the front bumper / quick jack mount holes 
actually cutting the holes is not to bad, its getting them in the right place that can be a bit tricky
Couple more Pic's just before the car was taken apart and shipped off to paint,
Rear end mocked up, and windscreen in place. |

Pushed it outside for a look, then pulled it all apart and sent it off to paint.

Nice! Glad to see the vent louvers painted. Just don't see that on many yet it's how they were.

Thanks Jim, (your engine startup video was great!)
Today I got the oil cooler and shroud installed.
Then the radiator was installed.
I had special help today from my young 11 year old son, he helped install the rivets around the front edge of the hood, |
